Wife has an interview on Thursday, fingers crossed.
What is the traffic like from Newhaven to Brighton in the morning, what time does it usuallly start to tail back from Peacehaven to Rottingdean Lights?

Would not the 12 bus be a better bet as it uses the bus lanes? 12X limited stop gets there even faster.

That, or get the train.

Edit she needs to drive into Brighton, then use the A26/A27 to the top of Dyke Rd.

It was crap 15 years ago, when I used to work at New England House in Brighton. Even back then it would have probably been quicker to cycle.
I'm taking her so will go along the A27, I'm not going to take any chances. Last thing you need is to turn up late for an interview all because of traffic.

I went towards Newhaven from Rottingdean lights this morning at 9.00 and the queue into Brighton went all the way back to Sainsbury's in Peacehaven. I came back to Rottingdean at 10.00 and it was completely clear.
Good luck, hope she gets the job and it is not a 9.00 start!!!

Thank you. Thinking of taking A27 out at Kingston.

The a27 can be bad coming in to Brighton. The coast road is great if you like stop/start traffic. Both are as bad as each other really. I have a twice daily battle anyway.

Did that run in my first job on leaving school in the mid 1980s.


The jam was massive and slow even then, sometimes going all the way from Rottingdean to the old Peacehaven motel at its east end. Long before the bus lane.

Caused by Lewes DC allowing Peacehaven, Telscombe Cliffs and Newhaven's housing to expand many fold over the decades, but with the same narrow main roads. Zero strategic planning by some bumpkins elected with a handful of votes.

I used to drive to work and park, usually driving in about 8am. It's a nightmare. Bus was much cheaper for me and quicker too. No brainer IMO.
